Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of beverage equipment technology, and more particularly to a beverage equipment. Background Technology

[0002] In recent years, as fully automatic coffee machines have become increasingly popular in the market, consumers' demand for the convenience and efficiency of coffee machines has also increased. Typically, a fully automatic coffee machine includes an extraction mechanism (brewing mechanism), which extracts and brews coffee grounds to produce a delicious coffee beverage.

[0003] Traditional coffee machines typically require manual handling to move the dispensed coffee grounds to the brewing position for extraction, a time-consuming process. To improve extraction efficiency, some machines incorporate a moving platform that automates the switching between the dispensing and extraction positions, reducing beverage preparation time.

[0004] However, while coffee machines with mobile platforms can reduce beverage preparation time, their increasingly complex structures make manufacturing and assembly more difficult, resulting in higher costs. Utility Model Content

[0005] This application provides a beverage device with a simple structure, which solves the problem of complex structures in related technologies, which leads to greater manufacturing and assembly difficulties and higher costs for coffee machines.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the embodiments of this application provide the following technical solutions:

[0007] This application provides a beverage device including a frame, a drive assembly, and a brewing assembly. The frame includes a feeding position and an extraction position. The drive assembly is disposed on the frame and includes a rotatably mounted first transmission member. The brewing assembly is movably connected to the frame, and a portion of the brewing assembly is drively connected to the first transmission member. The rotation of the first transmission member drives the brewing assembly to move between the feeding position and the extraction position. The brewing assembly is used to receive beverage ingredients at the feeding position and to extract the beverage at the extraction position. The drive assembly is used to drive the brewing assembly to vibrate during its movement from the feeding position to the extraction position.

[0008] By including a frame in the beverage equipment setup, a stable mounting position can be provided for the drive components and brewing components, thus ensuring stable operation of the entire beverage equipment. During the movement of the brewing components from the loading position to the extraction position, the vibration function of the drive components effectively distributes the beverage ingredients more evenly. This helps the beverage ingredients to have more thorough contact with the water flow during extraction, thereby improving extraction efficiency and enhancing the taste of the beverage.

[0009] The movement and vibration of the brewing component are achieved by using a single drive component. In other words, two functions of the beverage equipment are realized with a single component. This reduces the number of independent parts required to achieve the movement and vibration of the brewing component, lowers the assembly difficulty, and reduces manufacturing complexity and material costs.

[0010] In one possible implementation, the driving component includes a first motor; wherein the first motor is drivenly connected to a first transmission member, the first motor driving the first transmission member to rotate, and the rotation of the first transmission member driving the brewing component to rotate about the central axis of the first transmission member, so as to move the brewing component between a filling position and an extraction position. During the movement of the brewing component from the filling position to the extraction position, the first motor performs a first action driving the first transmission member to perform a second action, thereby causing the brewing component to vibrate; both the first and second actions include alternating forward and reverse rotation.

[0011] This design allows the brewing component to move between the filling and extraction positions via rotation. Rotation typically requires less space than linear motion because it rotates around a fixed axis, occupying a corner in space. This compact movement path results in a smaller overall size for the beverage equipment, which is beneficial for the miniaturization of beverage devices.

[0012] Furthermore, by utilizing the forward and reverse rotation characteristics of the first motor, vibration functionality can be achieved without additional complex mechanical structures. This simplifies the overall structure of the beverage equipment, thereby reducing costs. The reduced number of dedicated vibration components lowers the complexity of the beverage equipment, decreases potential points of failure, and thus improves its reliability.

[0013] In one possible implementation, the beverage device includes a dispensing tube, which is movably connected to a frame. The brewing assembly includes a dispensing port connected to the dispensing tube. The dispensing tube is used to allow a portion of its structure to enter the dispensing port when the brewing assembly is in the extraction position, and to seal the connection with the dispensing port. When the dispensing tube is sealed to the dispensing port, the brewing assembly is fixed in the extraction position to restrict horizontal movement of the brewing assembly.

[0014] By incorporating an injection tube, liquid can be injected into the brewing assembly during beverage extraction. The injection tube provides additional support and stability to the brewing assembly, preventing displacement due to vibration or liquid flow during extraction and ensuring a smooth process. Furthermore, the injection tube allows for precise positioning of the brewing assembly at the correct extraction point, ensuring accurate water flow and improving extraction efficiency and quality. Using the injection tube to secure the brewing assembly reduces the need for additional fixing mechanisms, thus simplifying the overall structure of the beverage equipment.

[0015] In one possible implementation, the brewing assembly includes a housing, a brewer, and a second transmission component. The housing surrounds the outside of the brewer, and the brewer is movably disposed with respect to the housing in the longitudinal direction. A third transmission component is provided on the outside of the brewer, and a second transmission component is sleeved on the outside of the brewer and is drively connected to the third transmission component. The second transmission component is drively connected to the first transmission component. When the injection tube is separated from the injection hole, the first transmission component rotates, driving the second transmission component to rotate. The rotation of the second transmission component causes the housing and the brewer to rotate around the central axis of the first transmission component. When the injection tube is sealed to the injection hole, the rotation of the first transmission component drives the second transmission component to rotate. The rotation of the second transmission component drives the third transmission component to move the brewer up and down relative to the housing in the longitudinal direction.

[0016] This configuration allows the second transmission component to rotate relative to the brewer around its central axis, driving the brewer to move vertically along the longitudinal direction during rotation. This facilitates lifting the brewer during extraction, ensuring complete beverage extraction. The second transmission component also allows the housing and brewer to rotate around the central axis of the first transmission component, enabling movement between the extraction and filling positions, thus performing different actions at different locations. Furthermore, this design allows for movement of the brewing assembly in different directions using only a single drive component, simplifying the drive component's structure and reducing assembly difficulty and cost.

[0017] In one possible implementation, both the first and second transmission components are gear structures. The second and third transmission components are connected by a threaded connection. The third transmission component includes a first sliding portion, and a second sliding portion is provided on the side of the housing facing the third transmission component. The first and second sliding portions are movably connected in the longitudinal direction and engaging in the circumferential direction of the brewer.

[0018] This configuration provides efficient and reliable power transmission, ensuring stable movement of the brewing components. Precise linear motion control is achieved by connecting the second and third transmission components via a threaded drive. In the circumferential direction of the brewer, the first and second sliding parts are engaged, providing a stable fixing effect and preventing the brewer from rotating or shifting in the circumferential direction, thus ensuring the stability of the extraction process.

[0019] In one possible implementation, one of the first sliding portion and the second sliding portion is a groove structure, and the other of the first sliding portion and the second sliding portion is a protrusion structure.

[0020] This design simplifies the structure of the first and second sliding parts, thereby reducing assembly difficulty and cost.

[0021] In one possible implementation, the brewer includes an extraction chamber with an opening at its top. An inner piston is located within the extraction chamber, sealingly connected to the inner wall of the chamber and movably connected to it in the longitudinal direction. The top of the inner piston is used to hold the beverage ingredients to be extracted. When the brewer moves upward in the longitudinal direction, it causes the inner piston to move upward synchronously.

[0022] By incorporating an internal piston, uniform pressure is applied to the beverage ingredients during extraction, allowing for more thorough contact between the ingredients and the water flow, thus improving extraction efficiency and flavor concentration. As the brewer moves upwards, the internal piston moves synchronously, helping to push out extracted residues from the extraction chamber, reducing residue accumulation and facilitating cleaning and maintenance. The sealed connection between the internal piston and the extraction chamber ensures controlled water flow during extraction and guarantees a tight seal for the brewing components, preventing liquid leakage.

[0023] In one possible implementation, the brewing assembly further includes a limiting seat and a lifting limiting member. The limiting seat is disposed between the housing and the inner piston, and is movably connected to the housing in the circumferential direction of the brewer. The lifting limiting member is fixedly connected to the inner piston. The lifting limiting member is movably connected to the limiting seat, and the limiting seat is used to abut against the lifting limiting member in the longitudinal direction when the brewer drives the inner piston and the lifting limiting member to rise to a first height, thereby suspending the inner piston at the first height. The brewer is used to complete beverage extraction at the first height.

[0024] This design ensures that the inner piston is suspended at its initial height during each extraction. This precise positioning is crucial for ensuring consistency and quality throughout the extraction process. The limiting seat provides stable support to the inner piston at its initial height, guaranteeing its stability during extraction and improving extraction efficiency and beverage quality.

[0025] In one possible implementation, the limiting seat includes a first groove extending longitudinally. The lifting limiting member includes a lifting slider that mates with the first groove, the lifting slider being movably disposed within the first groove in the longitudinal direction, and the lifting slider and the first groove being fixedly connected circumferentially to the brewer. A suspension portion is provided at the top of the first groove, extending outwardly from the top of the first groove along the circumference of the brewer. When the inner piston is at a first height, the lifting slider is located at the top of the first groove. The limiting seat is used to rotate by a preset angle along the direction from the suspension portion to the first groove when the inner piston is at the first height, so that the bottom and side of the suspension portion abut against the lifting slider. The suspension portion is used to fix the inner piston at the first height via the lifting slider.

[0026] By setting a first chute and a suspension part at the top of the first chute, the lifting slider can move longitudinally to a first height, at which point the lifting slider abuts against the suspension part by rotating the limiting seat, thus suspending the lifting limiting part at the first height, which is also the first height at which the inner piston is suspended. Since the suspension part can provide some support for the lifting slider, this can improve the stability of the inner piston during extraction. In addition, the mechanical structure of the first chute and the lifting slider allows the inner piston to be suspended at the first height. Compared to setting a specific drive structure to suspend the inner piston at the first position, this simplifies the structure of the brewing assembly and reduces costs.

[0027] In one possible implementation, a first elastic element is provided between the limiting seat and the housing, and the first elastic element has a preload. The first elastic element is used to drive the limiting seat to rotate by a preset angle along the direction from the suspension part to the first slide groove when the inner piston is at a first height.

[0028] The inclusion of a first elastic element allows for rotational adjustment of the limiting seat based on its natural properties, reducing complex mechanical structures and additional drive mechanisms, making the equipment simpler and more reliable. The preload of the first elastic element provides a low-energy-consumption drive method, reducing the need for electricity or other energy sources and improving the equipment's energy efficiency. The use of the first elastic element absorbs and cushions impacts and vibrations generated during movement, reducing wear and potential damage to the brewing components and extending their service life.

[0029] In one possible implementation, a reset assembly is provided between the limit seat and the housing; wherein,

[0030] The reset assembly is used to drive the limit seat and the lifting limit member to disengage in the longitudinal direction during the process of the brewing assembly moving from the extraction position to the filling position, so that the inner piston moves downward in the longitudinal direction and retracts to the bottom of the brewer.

[0031] By incorporating a reset component, the inner piston can automatically return to its initial position after each extraction, ready for the next filling and extraction. This simplifies the operation process, reduces manual intervention by the user, and ensures consistency in the extraction process by guaranteeing the return of the inner piston to the same initial position after each operation. This, in turn, ensures the stability of the beverage's quality and taste.

[0032] In one possible implementation, the reset assembly includes a second slide and a first limiting slider; wherein the second slide is disposed in the housing and extends circumferentially along the brewer; the first limiting slider is disposed in a limiting seat and is movably disposed within the second slide along the circumferential direction of the brewer; the frame is used to drive the first limiting slider to rotate the limiting seat by a preset angle along the direction from the first slide to the suspension part during the process of the brewing assembly moving from the extraction position to the filling position, so that the lifting slider disengages from the suspension part and enters the first slide.

[0033] By setting the reset assembly to include a second slide and a first limiting slider, the limiting seat can be driven to rotate a preset angle along the direction from the first slide to the suspension part by the pushing between the frame and the first limiting slider during the process of the brewing assembly moving from the extraction position to the filling position. This causes the lifting slider to disengage from the suspension part and enter the first slide. This reduces the complexity of the mechanical structure and the additional driving device, making the beverage equipment simpler.

[0034] In one possible implementation, a second elastic element is provided between the lifting limit member and the inner piston; wherein, the second elastic element is sleeved on the outside of the inner piston, and the top of the second elastic element abuts against the brewer, and the bottom of the second elastic element abuts against the lifting limit member; when the brewer moves downward relative to the inner piston in the longitudinal direction, it can compress the second elastic element, so that the second elastic element has a pre-tightening force; when the limit seat rotates by a preset angle along the direction from the first slide groove to the suspension part, and the lifting slider disengages from the suspension part and enters the first slide groove, the second elastic element drives the lifting limit member to drive the inner piston to move downward in the longitudinal direction.

[0035] By incorporating a second elastic element, the vertical movement of the lifting and limiting component is achieved through its natural properties. This reduces the need for complex mechanical structures and additional drive devices, making the equipment simpler and more reliable. Furthermore, the preload of the elastic element provides a low-energy-consumption drive method, reducing the demand for electricity or other energy sources and improving the equipment's energy efficiency. The use of the second elastic element absorbs and cushions impacts and vibrations generated during movement, reducing wear and potential damage to the brewing components and extending their service life.

[0036] In one possible implementation, the housing is provided with a mounting groove extending circumferentially along the brewer; the limiting seat is provided with a second limiting slider, which is disposed in the mounting groove, and a first elastic member is disposed in the mounting groove; one end of the first elastic member is fixedly connected to the mounting groove, and the other end is fixedly connected to the second limiting slider, and the first elastic member is in a compressed state.

[0037] This configuration allows the first elastic element to have a certain restoring force. When the lifting slider rises to the first height in the longitudinal direction within the first slide groove, it can drive the limiting seat to rotate by a preset angle along the direction from the suspension part to the first slide groove using its own restoring force, so that the limiting slider abuts against the suspension part.

[0038] In one possible implementation, a brewing element is also included; wherein, when the brewing assembly is in the extraction position, the brewing element is located on top of the brewing assembly and is opposite to the extraction chamber; when the brewer drives the inner piston to move upward in the longitudinal direction to a first height, a portion of the structure of the brewing element is located inside the extraction chamber and is sealed to the extraction chamber; the brewer completes beverage extraction at the first height.

[0039] With this configuration, when the brewer raises the inner piston to its first height, a portion of the brewing element enters and seals into the extraction chamber. This sealed environment helps maintain stable pressure and temperature during extraction, improving extraction efficiency and the flavor concentration of the beverage. The sealed connection between the brewing element and the extraction chamber prevents leakage of liquid or vapor during extraction, ensuring the integrity of the extraction process and the cleanliness of the equipment.

[0040] In one possible implementation, the beverage device further includes a scraping assembly. This scraping assembly comprises a scraping rod and a drive linkage. The scraping rod is located at the top of the brewing assembly and is used to push the extracted residue from the top of the brewing assembly out of the assembly during rotation. One end of the drive linkage is fixedly connected to the scraping rod, and the other end is drivenly connected to the injection pipe. Rotation of the drive linkage causes the scraping rod to rotate, and also causes the injection pipe to insert into or withdraw from the brewing assembly, thereby sealing or separating the injection pipe from the injection port.

[0041] This design allows the scraper to effectively push the extracted residue from the top of the brewing unit away from the unit during rotation, achieving automatic cleaning. This reduces the need for manual cleaning by the user, improving the convenience and user experience of the beverage equipment. The transmission linkage connects the scraper and the injection pipe, allowing the injection pipe to be inserted or withdrawn simultaneously while the scraper rotates to clean the residue. This simplifies the workflow of the beverage equipment, improves operational efficiency, and integrates the operation of the scraper and injection pipe into a single scraper assembly, reducing independently driven components and thus saving space and manufacturing costs for the beverage equipment.

[0042] In one possible implementation, the scraper bar includes a first position and a second position. The scraper bar is used to push the extracted residue on top of the brewing assembly out of the brewing assembly during the process of rotating from the first position to the second position. When the scraper bar is in the first position, it is located on the side of the brewer closer to the filling position, and a portion of the liquid injection pipe is located inside the liquid injection hole and is sealed to the liquid injection hole. When the scraper bar is in the second position, it is located on the side of the brewer away from the filling position, and the liquid injection pipe is separated from the liquid injection hole.

[0043] This design allows the brewing assembly to be fixed in the extraction position by moving the scraper from the second position to the first position as it moves from the filling position to the extraction position, ensuring extraction stability. After extraction, the scraper can be moved from the first position to the second position to push the extracted beverage residue to the side of the brewing assembly away from the filling position for easy collection. Furthermore, the movement of the scraper from the first position to the second position allows the injection tube to separate from the injection hole, enabling the brewing assembly to move horizontally. This, in turn, drives the brewing assembly from the extraction position to the filling position, entering the next extraction cycle. This makes the entire extraction cycle more compact and improves its efficiency.

[0044] In one possible implementation, the slag scraping assembly includes a connector; wherein the connector is located between a transmission link and an injection pipe; the transmission link includes a pushing part, and the connector includes a pushed part that cooperates with the pushing part; the pushing part and the pushed part are drively connected, the pushing part is a protruding structure, the pushed part is a groove wall, and the protruding structure is pushed against the groove wall.

[0045] This design allows for a reliable mechanical connection through the interaction of the protruding structure of the pushing part and the groove wall of the pushed part. This ensures that the transmission linkage can effectively transmit power to the injection tube, achieving synchronized operation. The simple and efficient mechanical connection design reduces the need for complex components and precision manufacturing, thereby lowering manufacturing costs.

[0046] In one possible implementation, the connector further includes a first limiting part, and the injection tube includes a second limiting part that mates with the first limiting part; the second limiting part is movably connected to the first limiting part, and the mating surface between the first limiting part and the second limiting part is an inclined structure; the inclined direction of the inclined structure is configured to convert the rotational displacement of the connector into the displacement of the injection tube relative to the insertion / removal direction of the brewing assembly.

[0047] The beveled design converts the rotational displacement of the connector into linear displacement of the injection tube in the insertion and removal direction. This motion conversion mechanism simplifies complex motion control, enabling rotational motion to effectively drive linear motion. The beveled structure provides a precise motion path, ensuring accurate positioning and orientation of the injection tube during insertion or removal, improving the operational precision of the equipment. The beveled structure's movable connection reduces direct friction, lowers wear between components, and extends the equipment's lifespan. By utilizing a simple mechanical structure to achieve complex motion conversion, the need for additional drive components is reduced, simplifying equipment design and lowering manufacturing and maintenance costs.

[0048] In one possible implementation, the insertion and removal direction of the injection tube is arranged radially along the brewing assembly.

[0049] By aligning the insertion and removal direction of the injection tube with the radial direction of the brewing assembly, the insertion and removal path can be shortened, helping to reduce the overall space occupied by the beverage equipment and making its structure more compact, suitable for use in space-constrained environments. The radial insertion and removal direction facilitates precise docking and sealing between the injection tube and the brewing assembly, preventing liquid leakage and improving the sealing performance of the beverage equipment. The radial insertion and removal direction provides good mechanical support, making the injection tube more stable during operation and reducing misalignment or loosening caused by vibration or external forces. The radial insertion and removal direction makes force transmission more direct and efficient, reducing unnecessary mechanical wear and improving operational efficiency.

[0050] In one possible implementation, the second limiting part is a column structure, one end of which is fixedly connected to the injection pipe and the other end is movably connected to the first limiting part; the first limiting part is a sliding groove structure.

[0051] This configuration simplifies the structure of the second and first limiting parts, enabling complex motion control through a simple mechanical structure, reducing the need for additional components, simplifying equipment design, and lowering manufacturing and maintenance costs.

[0052] In one possible implementation, the frame is provided with a guide groove that extends radially along the brewing assembly; a second limiting part is movably disposed within the guide groove, which is used to restrict the movement of the second limiting part along the radial direction of the brewing assembly.

[0053] By setting guide grooves, a clear movement path can be provided for the second limiting part, ensuring that the second limiting part moves along the radial direction of the brewing assembly during insertion and removal, reducing offset and error.

[0054] In one possible implementation, the slag scraping assembly further includes a second motor, which is drivenly connected to the transmission link and is used to drive the transmission link to rotate.

[0055] In one possible implementation, the scraper bar includes a first abutment, and a second abutment corresponding to the first abutment is provided on the frame. The second abutment is located on the side of the first abutment opposite to the second position. The second abutment is used to abut against the first abutment when the scraper bar moves from the second position to the first position.

[0056] By providing a first stop and a second stop, and having the scraper bar abut against the first stop when it moves from the second position to the first position, the first stop and the second stop provide clear movement restrictions, preventing the scraper bar from exceeding the predetermined range of movement, thereby protecting the scraper bar from damage caused by excessive movement.

[0057] In one possible implementation, the beverage device further includes a residue collection box; wherein the residue collection box is located on the side of the extraction position away from the filling position; the top of the residue collection box is provided with a residue inlet, and a scraper is used to push the residue on the top of the brewing component to the residue inlet of the residue collection box when rotating from the first position to the second position.

[0058] By incorporating a slag collection box, the extracted residue can be collected and centrally processed, reducing the number of operations required by the user compared to cleaning after each extraction, thus lessening the user's workload. By placing the slag collection box on the side of the extraction position away from the loading position, the extracted residue can be directly pushed into the collection box as the scraper moves from the first position to the second position. This allows for a more compact structure of the beverage equipment, reducing its footprint and promoting miniaturization.

[0059] In one possible implementation, the beverage device further includes a mounting base; wherein the mounting base is located at the bottom of the residue collection box; the mounting base includes a first assembly part, the residue collection box is detachably connected to the first assembly part, and the residue collection box is rotatably connected to the first assembly part; when the brewing component moves out of the extraction position, the residue inlet is tilted toward the extraction position; the brewing component is used to push the residue collection box to an upright position during the process of moving from the filling position to the extraction position.

[0060] This design allows the slag collection box to automatically adjust to an upright position when the brewing component moves from the loading position to the extraction position, ensuring that the slag collection box is in the optimal position to receive slag before extraction begins, thus improving operational efficiency. By rotating the slag collection box to the mounting base and tilting the slag inlet towards the extraction position when the brewing component moves out of the extraction position, the impact force generated by the brewing component when entering the extraction position causes the slag collection box to lose its balance when moving out of the extraction position. This results in a certain degree of shaking or vibration of the slag collection box relative to the mounting base. This shaking or vibration evens out the slag inside the slag collection box, preventing it from piling up, improving space utilization, reducing replacement frequency, and alleviating the burden on the user.

[0061] In one possible implementation, the slag collection box is provided with a first mating part that cooperates with the first assembly part; two first assembly parts are respectively arranged on both sides of the slag collection box along a first direction, and the two first mating parts correspond to the two assembly parts respectively; wherein, when the slag collection box is in an upright state, the distance from the first mating part to the extraction position is greater than the distance from the center of gravity of the slag collection box to the extraction position, so that when the brewing component moves out of the extraction position, the slag inlet tilts toward the extraction position.

[0062] This design allows the slag collection box to tilt naturally under its own weight, thus simplifying the structure of the mounting base.

[0063] In one possible implementation, the angle at which the slag inlet is tilted toward the extraction position is between 10° and 30°.

[0064] This design allows the slag collection box to be at a suitable tilt angle, without affecting the usable space of the slag collection box. It also allows the slag collection box to have a certain impact with the brewing component when it moves to the extraction position, thereby causing the slag inside the slag collection box to vibrate. This results in the slag inside the slag collection box being evenly distributed, improving the space utilization rate of the slag collection box.

[0065] In one possible implementation, the first assembly part is a slot structure, and the first mating part is a rod-shaped structure.

[0066] This design simplifies the structure of the first assembly section and the first mating section, reducing the difficulty of processing.

[0067] In one possible implementation, the mounting base is equipped with a detection component. This detection component is used at least to detect whether the slag collection box is full.

[0068] By incorporating a detection component, the system can identify whether the slag collection box is full and issue a warning signal if necessary. This helps prevent overflow or equipment damage caused by an overfilled slag collection box, ensuring the normal operation of the equipment.

[0069] In one possible implementation, the detection component includes a first magnetic element and a first Hall effect sensor; wherein, the mounting base includes a fixed part and a movable part, the fixed part is fixed to the frame, the movable part is movably connected to the fixed part in the vertical direction, and a third elastic element is provided between the movable part and the fixed part; the first magnetic element is fixed to the movable part, and when the slag collection box is installed on the mounting base, a first mating part is mounted on the movable part, and the first mating part is movably connected to the first assembly part in the vertical direction; the first Hall effect sensor is disposed on the fixed part, and the first Hall effect sensor is used to detect whether the slag collection box is full based on the position of the first magnetic element.

[0070] This configuration allows for precise detection of positional changes in the first magnetic component using a first Hall effect sensor, thereby determining the state of the slag collection box (e.g., whether it is fully loaded). This non-contact detection method improves the accuracy and reliability of the detection. By monitoring the slag collection box's state in real time with sensors, the equipment can automatically prompt the user to clean or replace it, reducing the frequency of manual inspections and increasing the automation level of the equipment. The third elastic component allows for slight displacement of the moving part when the slag collection box is loaded, ensuring that the sensor is only triggered when the slag collection box is truly full, reducing the possibility of false alarms. Utilizing the combination of magnetic components and sensors for state detection reduces the need for complex mechanical parts, simplifying equipment design and manufacturing.

[0071] In one possible implementation, the first assembly part includes an inclined groove and a vertical groove that are interconnected, with the inclined groove located at the top of the vertical groove; when the slag collection box is installed on the mounting base, part of the structure of the first assembly part enters the vertical groove from the inclined groove, and when the first mating part is mounted on the moving part, the first mating part is movably connected to the vertical groove in the vertical direction.

[0072] The inclined slot facilitates the connection between the slag collection box and the mounting base, reducing alignment and positioning difficulties and making the installation process simpler and faster. The vertical slot provides vertical movement space for the first mating part, enabling the first Hall effect sensor to detect whether the slag collection box is full based on the position of the first magnetic component. Additionally, the vertical slot provides support for the first mating part, preventing the slag collection box from shaking or falling off during use.

[0073] In one possible implementation, the slag collection box includes a top cover that is openable and closable at the slag inlet. The detection assembly further includes a second magnetic element and a second Hall effect sensor. The second magnetic element is disposed on the top cover, and the second Hall effect sensor is disposed on the side wall of the slag collection box. The second Hall effect sensor is used to detect whether the top cover has been reset or whether the slag collection box is full based on the position of the second magnetic element.

[0074] By installing a top cover, waste can be prevented from overflowing from the waste inlet, keeping the beverage equipment and its surrounding environment clean. When the top cover is closed, it effectively isolates odors from the waste collection box, improving air quality around the equipment and enhancing the user experience. The top cover design prevents external objects or dust from entering the waste collection box, maintaining internal cleanliness and ensuring the normal operation of the beverage equipment. The openable and closable top cover design makes cleaning or replacing the waste collection box more convenient for users, simplifying the operation process.

[0075] By incorporating a second magnetic component and a second Hall effect sensor, the top cover can be monitored in real time to ensure it has returned to the correct position, guaranteeing the beverage equipment is ready to operate before a new cycle begins. This prevents the extraction process from starting when the top cover cannot return to its correct position due to a full residue box, avoiding potential spills or equipment malfunctions and improving the safety and reliability of the beverage equipment. By detecting the position of the second magnetic component, the second Hall effect sensor confirms that the top cover has correctly returned to its position, ensuring the residue box is not full. This dual-check system enhances safety by ensuring the residue box's condition is maintained.

[0076] In one possible implementation, the beverage equipment also includes an alarm module. The detection component is connected to the alarm module, which issues an alarm when the residue collection box is full.

[0077] When the waste collection box is full, the alarm module immediately issues an alarm, reminding the user to empty the box promptly. This ensures the beverage equipment operates continuously and efficiently, preventing malfunctions or overflows due to an overfilled waste collection box. The automatic alarm allows users to respond quickly and take necessary cleaning measures, reducing downtime caused by an overfilled waste collection box and improving the overall operational efficiency of the beverage equipment. Timely alarm messages effectively prevent waste overflow due to an overfilled waste collection box, maintaining the cleanliness of the beverage equipment and the working environment, and reducing the risk of contamination. The alarm module prevents equipment malfunctions or other safety hazards caused by an overfilled waste collection box, enhancing the safety and reliability of the equipment.

[0078] In one possible implementation, the brewing assembly includes a pushing part and an extension part; wherein the pushing part is used to push against the slag collection box during the process of the brewing assembly moving from the loading position to the extraction position; when the brewing assembly is in the extraction position, the extension part is located on the top of the slag collection box, and at least a portion of the structure of the extension part is located inside the edge of the slag inlet.

[0079] By incorporating a pusher section, the slag collection box can be pushed against, preventing damage to other parts of the brewing component. The extension section prevents gaps between the brewing component and the slag inlet of the slag collection box, thus preventing slag leakage during the pushing of slag to the inlet and reducing cleaning and maintenance workload.

[0080] In one possible implementation, the mounting base includes a blocking portion; wherein the blocking portion is located on the side of the slag collection box away from the extraction position and is spaced apart from the slag collection box; in the direction from the slag collection box to the extraction position, at least a portion of the structure of the blocking portion is disposed opposite to a portion of the structure of the slag collection box.

[0081] By incorporating a blocking feature, a physical constraint is provided on the side of the residue collection box away from the extraction position. This prevents the residue collection box from tipping over to the side away from the brewing component after it shakes due to the pushing action of the brewing assembly, thus improving the safety of the beverage equipment. The blocking feature also prevents the residue collection box from colliding with other equipment components, reducing wear and potential damage and extending the lifespan of the beverage equipment.

[0082] In one possible implementation, the side of the blocking part facing the slag collection box includes an inclined surface; the distance from the inclined surface to the slag collection box gradually increases in the direction from the bottom to the top of the blocking part, and the top of the inclined surface is an arc-shaped surface.

[0083] The curved surface design provides a buffer zone when the slag collection box contacts the blocking part, reducing the direct impact force and thus reducing wear and damage to the slag collection box and the blocking part.

[0084] In one possible implementation, the slag collection box includes a top cover that can be opened and closed at the slag inlet.

[0085] By installing a top cover, waste can be prevented from overflowing from the waste inlet, keeping the beverage equipment and its surrounding environment clean. When the top cover is closed, it effectively isolates odors from the waste collection box, improving air quality around the equipment and enhancing the user experience. The top cover design prevents external objects or dust from entering the waste collection box, maintaining internal cleanliness and ensuring the normal operation of the beverage equipment. The openable and closable top cover design makes cleaning or replacing the waste collection box more convenient for users, simplifying the operation process. Attached Figure Description

[0131] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this utility model clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this utility model, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of this utility model.

[0132] In recent years, with the popularization of coffee culture, coffee machines have gradually become an important piece of equipment in homes and offices. As an intelligent device integrating grinding, extraction, and cleaning, a fully automatic coffee machine's core functional modules include a coffee powder delivery system, a hot water pressurization extraction mechanism, and a residue disposal device.

[0133] Coffee machines in related technologies, after integrating multiple functions, have a complex overall structure and high manufacturing costs, which limits their widespread application in the market.

[0134] To address the aforementioned technical problems, this application provides a beverage device. By simultaneously driving the brewing component to vibrate during the movement of the brewing component from the filling position to the extraction position, the uniformity of beverage ingredients inside the brewing component can be achieved during this movement. This allows one driving component to perform two functions, reducing the number of independent parts required to achieve both movement and vibration of the brewing component, lowering assembly difficulty, and reducing manufacturing complexity and material costs.

[0135] The beverage equipment provided in the embodiments of this application will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0136] Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of a beverage device provided in an embodiment of this application. Figure 2 This is another structural schematic diagram of a beverage device provided in an embodiment of this application. Figure 3 This is a cross-sectional structural diagram of a beverage device provided in an embodiment of this application. Figure 1 This shows a schematic diagram of the brewing component located at the filling position. Figure 2 The diagram shows a schematic of the brewing component located at the extraction position. Figure 3 The image shows a schematic diagram of the brewing and driving components of the beverage equipment after it has been cut open.

[0137] It should be noted that, for ease of description, in this embodiment, the horizontal direction is defined as any direction within the plane formed by the x and y directions, and the vertical direction is defined as the z direction. Specifically, during normal use of the beverage equipment, the first direction can be any direction on the horizontal plane, with both the x and y directions being horizontal, and the vertical direction representing the height of the beverage equipment and the extraction mechanism.

[0138] This application provides a beverage device, such as... Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, the beverage equipment 100 may include a frame 10, a drive assembly 30, and a brewing assembly 20. The frame 10 may include a loading position and an extraction position. The drive assembly 30 is disposed on the frame 10 and may include a rotatably mounted first transmission member 31. The brewing assembly 20 is movably connected to the frame 10, and a portion of the structure of the brewing assembly 20 is drively connected to the first transmission member 31. The first transmission member 31 rotates to drive the brewing assembly 20 to move between the loading position and the extraction position. The brewing assembly 20 is used to receive beverage ingredients at the loading position and to extract the beverage at the extraction position. The drive assembly 30 is used to drive the brewing assembly 20 to vibrate during its movement from the loading position to the extraction position.

[0139] For example, part of the drive assembly 30 may be fixedly connected to the frame 10, and part of the structure may be movable relative to the frame 10, for example, by rotation. For example, the housing and other components of the drive assembly 30 may be fixedly connected to the frame 10 by fasteners such as bolts. In the embodiments of this application, the method of fixing the drive assembly 30 to the frame 10 is not further limited.

[0140] For example, the brewing component 20 is detachably connected to the frame 10, and can be removed from the frame 10 for cleaning. The brewing component 20 has a handle on its outer side for easy disassembly and installation. In this embodiment, the method of disassembling and assembling the brewing component 20 is not further limited.

[0141] By configuring the beverage equipment 100, including the frame 10, a stable mounting position can be provided for the drive assembly 30 and the brewing assembly 20, thereby enabling the entire beverage equipment 100 to operate stably. By configuring the drive assembly 30, the brewing assembly 20 can be driven to move between the filling position and the extraction position, which can improve the automation level of the beverage equipment 100 and enhance the user experience.

[0142] As the brewing component 20 moves from the filling position to the extraction position, the vibration function of the drive component 30 can effectively distribute the beverage ingredients more evenly. This helps the beverage ingredients to come into fuller contact with the water flow during the extraction process, thereby improving the extraction efficiency and enhancing the taste of the beverage.

[0143] The movement and vibration of the brewing component 20 are achieved through a single drive component 30. This means that two functions of the beverage device 100 are realized with a single component. This reduces the number of independent parts required to achieve the movement and vibration of the brewing component 20, lowering manufacturing complexity and material costs, while also reducing assembly time. The integrated drive component 30 occupies less space, resulting in a smaller overall device size, making it more suitable for use in space-constrained environments and contributing to the miniaturization of the beverage device 100.

[0144] In one possible implementation, such as Figure 3 As shown, the drive assembly 30 may include a first motor 32. The first motor 32 is drivenly connected to a first transmission member 31, and the first motor 32 drives the first transmission member 31 to rotate. The rotation of the first transmission member 31 drives the brewing assembly 20 to rotate around the central axis (o) of the first transmission member 31, so that the brewing assembly 20 moves between the filling position and the extraction position. During the process of the brewing assembly 20 moving from the filling position to the extraction position, the first motor 32 performs a first action to drive the first transmission member 31 to perform a second action, thereby causing the brewing assembly 20 to vibrate. Both the first action and the second action include alternating forward and reverse rotation.

[0145] In some embodiments, the drive assembly 30 may further include a transmission assembly 33, which may be disposed between the first transmission member 31 and the first motor 32.

[0146] For example, the first motor 32 may include an output shaft 321, which can be driven to rotate. The output shaft 321 may be connected to a transmission assembly 33, which is connected to the first transmission member 31. When the output shaft 321 rotates, it can drive the transmission assembly 33 to rotate, and the rotation of the transmission assembly 33 can drive the first transmission member 31 to rotate.

[0147] like Figure 3 As shown, the transmission assembly 33 may include a synchronous belt 331, a first pulley 332, and a transmission shaft 34. The transmission assembly 33 includes a synchronous belt 331, a first pulley 332, and a second pulley 333. The first pulley 332 is fixedly connected to the output shaft 321, and the second pulley 333 is fixedly connected to the transmission shaft 34. The synchronous belt 331 is positioned between the first pulley 332 and the second pulley 333. One end of the transmission shaft 34, away from the second pulley 333, is fixedly connected to the first transmission member 31. When the output shaft 321 of the first motor 32 rotates, it drives the first pulley 332 to rotate. The rotation of the first pulley 332 causes the synchronous belt 331 to move, which in turn causes the second pulley 333 to rotate. The rotation of the second pulley 333 then drives the transmission shaft 34 to rotate, which in turn drives the first transmission member 31 to rotate. This achieves the purpose of the first motor 32 driving the first transmission member 31 to rotate.

[0148] When the first motor 32 alternates between forward and reverse rotation, the first transmission component 31 can also alternate between forward and reverse rotation, thereby causing the brewing assembly 20 to also alternate between forward and reverse rotation. This results in the beverage ingredients within the brewing assembly 20 being vibrated more evenly. It can be understood that even though the first motor 32 alternates between forward and reverse rotation while driving the brewing assembly 20 from the filling position to the extraction position, the overall movement of the brewing assembly 20 towards the extraction position can still be achieved by controlling the angles of forward and reverse rotation. For example, the angle of forward rotation can be greater than the angle of reverse rotation.

[0149] Of course, in other embodiments, the transmission component 33 can be configured with other structures, or the transmission component 33 can be omitted between the first transmission member 31 and the first motor 32. For example, the output shaft 321 of the first motor 32 can be directly connected to the first transmission member 31. In the embodiments of this application, there are no further limitations on whether a transmission component 33 is provided between the first motor 32 and the first transmission member 31, or on the structure of the transmission component 33.

[0150] This configuration allows the brewing component 20 to move between the filling position and the extraction position through rotational motion. Rotational motion typically occupies less space than linear motion because it rotates around a fixed axis and can occupy a corner in space. This compact motion path makes the overall size of the beverage device 100 smaller, which is beneficial to the miniaturization of the beverage device 100.

[0151] Furthermore, by utilizing the forward and reverse rotation characteristics of the first motor 32, vibration functionality can be achieved without additional complex mechanical structures, thus simplifying the overall structure of the beverage equipment 100 and reducing costs. The reduced number of dedicated vibration components lowers the complexity of the beverage equipment 100, decreases potential points of failure, and thereby improves its reliability.

[0152] In one possible implementation, the first transmission member 31 can drive the brewing assembly 20 to rotate about the central axis (o) of the first transmission member 31 when it rotates about its own central axis, so that the brewing assembly 20 can move between the filling position and the extraction position.

[0153] For example, the rotation angle of the brewing component 20 from the extraction position to the filling position is between 30° and 150°. For example, it can be 30°, 40°, 50°, 60°, 70°, 80°, 90°, 100°, 110°, 120°, 130°, 140°, 150°, etc. In this embodiment, the rotation angle of the brewing component 20 from the extraction position to the filling position is not further limited, and can be set according to the installation space of the beverage equipment 100.

[0154] In one possible implementation, such as Figure 3 and Figure 4As shown, the brewing assembly 20 may include a housing 21, a brewer 22, and a second transmission member 23. The housing 21 may surround the outside of the brewer 22, and the brewer 22 may be movably disposed with respect to the housing 21 in the longitudinal direction (z-direction). That is, the brewer 22 may move relative to the housing 21 in the longitudinal direction (z-direction). The second transmission member 23 is sleeved on the outside of the brewer 22, and the second transmission member 23 is drively connected to the first transmission member 31. A third transmission member 222 is provided on the outside of the brewer 22, and the third transmission member 222 is drively connected to the second transmission member 23. Rotation of the second transmission member 23 relative to the third transmission member 222 can drive the third transmission member 222 to move up and down in the longitudinal direction.

[0155] For example, the housing 21 of the brewing assembly 20 is rotatably connected to the frame 10. The brewer 22 of the brewing assembly 20 is located inside the housing 21 and may not be connected to the frame 10, but can be moved in the horizontal or longitudinal (z-direction) direction relative to the frame 10 through the housing 21.

[0156] Thus, when the housing 21 can move horizontally relative to the frame 10, the rotation of the first transmission member 31 can drive the second transmission member 23 to rotate. Since the position of the first transmission member 31 relative to the frame 10 remains unchanged, the second transmission member 23 will rotate around the first transmission member 31, thereby causing the housing 21 and the brewing component 20 to rotate around the first transmission member 31, thereby causing the brewing component 20 to move between the filling position and the extraction position.

[0157] When the housing 21 and the frame 10 are fixed in the horizontal direction, since the housing 21 and the frame 10 are fixed, the rotation of the first transmission member 31 can drive the rotation of the second transmission member 23, and the rotation of the second transmission member 23 can drive the third transmission member 222 to move up and down along the longitudinal direction (z direction) (see...). Figure 6 (As shown). During beverage extraction, the housing 21 can be fixed to the frame 10, and the brewer 22 can be driven to move up and down along the longitudinal direction.

[0158] It should be noted that when there is no horizontal restriction between the housing 21 and the frame 10, the driving force for the second transmission member 23 to rotate around the first transmission member 31 is less than the driving force for the second transmission member 23 to rotate relative to the third transmission member 222. Therefore, when there is no horizontal restriction between the housing 21 and the frame 10, the driving force of the first transmission member 31 on the second transmission member 23 when it rotates is only sufficient to drive the brewing assembly 20 to rotate around the first transmission member 31, but cannot drive the second transmission member 23 to rotate relative to the third transmission member 222, thereby allowing the brewing assembly 20 to move between the filling position and the extraction position.

[0159] See also Figure 4As shown, both the first transmission component 31 and the second transmission component 23 are gear structures. The second transmission component 23 and the third transmission component 222 are connected by a threaded transmission.

[0160] like Figure 5 As shown, the third transmission member 222 may include a first sliding part 223, and the side of the housing 21 facing the third transmission member 222 may be provided with a second sliding part 211. The first sliding part 223 and the second sliding part 211 are movably connected in the longitudinal direction (z direction), and the first sliding part 223 and the second sliding part 211 are engaged in the circumferential direction of the brewer 22.

[0161] This configuration provides efficient and reliable power transmission, ensuring stable movement of the brewing assembly 20. Precise linear motion control is achieved by connecting the second transmission member 23 and the third transmission member 222 via a threaded drive. In the circumferential direction of the brewer 22 (circumferential direction refers to the direction of the outer periphery), the first sliding part 223 and the second sliding part 211 are engaged, providing a stable fixing effect and preventing the brewer 22 from rotating or shifting in the circumferential direction, thus ensuring the stability of the extraction process.

[0162] In one possible implementation, see Figure 5 As shown, one of the first sliding part 223 and the second sliding part 211 can be a groove structure, and the other of the first sliding part 223 and the second sliding part 211 can be a protrusion structure.

[0163] For example, the first sliding part 223 is a groove structure and the second sliding part 211 is a protrusion structure. Of course, in other embodiments, the first sliding part 223 can also be set as a protrusion structure and the second sliding part 211 can be set as a groove structure. In this application embodiment, the specific structure of the first sliding part 223 and the second sliding part 211 is not further limited.

[0164] This design simplifies the structure of the first sliding part 223 and the second sliding part 211, thereby reducing assembly difficulty and cost.

[0165] In one possible implementation, see Figure 4 and Figure 6 As shown, the brewing device 22 may include an extraction chamber 221, with an opening at the top. An inner piston 224 is provided inside the extraction chamber 221, and the inner piston 224 is sealed to the inner wall of the extraction chamber 221. The inner piston 224 and the extraction chamber 221 are movably connected in the longitudinal direction (z-direction), and the top of the inner piston 224 is used to hold the beverage ingredients to be extracted. When the brewing device 22 moves upward in the longitudinal direction (z-direction), it drives the inner piston 224 to move upward synchronously.

[0166] For example, the inner piston 224 can be connected to the liquid inlet pipe 24 of the brewing assembly 20, and liquid can be injected into the brewing chamber through the liquid inlet pipe 24 during beverage extraction.

[0167] By incorporating the inner piston 224, uniform pressure is applied to the beverage ingredients during extraction, allowing for more thorough contact between the ingredients and the water flow, thus improving extraction efficiency and flavor concentration. As the brewer 22 moves upward, the inner piston 224 moves synchronously, helping to push extracted residues out of the extraction chamber 221, reducing residue accumulation and facilitating cleaning and maintenance. The sealed connection between the inner piston 224 and the extraction chamber 221 ensures controlled water flow during extraction and guarantees the sealing of the brewing assembly 20, preventing liquid leakage.

[0168] In one possible implementation, the beverage device 100 may further include a brewing component 50. For example... Figure 6 As shown, when the brewing assembly 20 is in the extraction position, the brewing element 50 is located on top of the brewing assembly 20, and the brewing element 50 is opposite to the extraction chamber 221. When the brewer 22 moves the inner piston 224 upward in the longitudinal direction to the first height, a portion of the structure of the brewing element 50 is located inside the extraction chamber 221 and is sealed to the extraction chamber 221. Beverage ingredients 300 are located between the inner piston 224 and the brewing element 50. The brewer 22 completes beverage extraction at the first height.

[0169] It should be noted that in this embodiment, "when the brewer 22 drives the inner piston 224 to move upward in the longitudinal direction to a first height," the "first height" refers to the height that the brewer 22 and the inner piston 224, as a whole, have moved relative to their initial positions. For example, the brewer 22 drives the inner piston 224 to move upward relative to the bottom of the housing 21 by a first distance, reaching the first height. Furthermore, when the brewer 22 drives the inner piston 224 to move upward in the longitudinal direction to the first height, the height difference between the top surface of the brewer 22 and the top surface of the inner piston 224 is the same as the height difference between the top surfaces of the brewer 22 and the inner piston 224 at the initial position.

[0170] It should be noted that the value of the first height 100 may be the same or different for different beverage devices. In this embodiment, the specific value of the first height is not further limited.

[0171] With this configuration, when the brewer 22 raises the inner piston 224 to the first height, a portion of the brewing element 50 enters the extraction chamber 221 and forms a sealed connection with it. This sealed environment helps maintain stable pressure and temperature during extraction, improving extraction efficiency and the flavor concentration of the beverage. The sealed connection between the brewing element 50 and the extraction chamber 221 prevents leakage of liquid or steam during extraction, ensuring the integrity of the extraction process and the cleanliness of the equipment.

[0172] It should be noted that during the process of a portion of the brewing element 50 entering and sealingly connecting with the extraction chamber 221, the brewing element 50 and the inner piston 224 can compress the beverage ingredients located between them. For example, as the inner piston 224 rises, the beverage ingredients between the brewing element 50 and the inner piston 224 are compressed from beverage ingredient powder into beverage ingredient cakes. This allows for the provision of a dedicated cake-pressing structure compared to related technologies, reducing the number of parts in the beverage equipment and thus lowering its cost.

[0173] The specific structure of the brewing component 20 is described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0174] In one possible implementation, such as Figure 7 As shown, the brewing assembly 20 may further include a limiting seat 26 and a lifting limiting member 27. The limiting seat 26 is disposed between the housing 21 and the inner piston 224, and is movably connected to the housing 21 in the circumferential direction of the brewer 22. The lifting limiting member 27 is fixedly connected to the inner piston 224. The lifting limiting member 27 is movably connected to the limiting seat 26. When the brewer 22 drives the inner piston 224 and the lifting limiting member 27 to rise to a first height in the longitudinal direction (z-direction), a portion of the limiting seat 26 abuts against the lifting limiting member 27 in the longitudinal direction (z-direction), so that the inner piston 224 is suspended at the first height, allowing the brewer 22 to complete beverage extraction at the first height.

[0175] For example, the lifting limit member 27 is located at the bottom of the inner piston 224 and is fixedly connected to the inner piston 224. A portion of the inner piston 224 is located inside the brewing chamber, and a portion extends downward from the bottom of the brewer 22 to outside the brewer 22. The portion outside the bottom of the brewing chamber is fixedly connected to the lifting limit member 27. The limiting seat 26 surrounds the outside of the lifting limit member 27 and is movably connected to the lifting limit member 27 at least in the longitudinal direction (e.g., sliding connection). A portion of the brewer 22 is surrounded by the limiting seat 26. The housing 21 can be sleeved on the outside of the brewer 22 and part of the limiting seat 26. The limiting seat 26 can move relative to the housing 21 in the circumferential direction of the brewer 22, for example, by rotation.

[0176] This configuration ensures that the inner piston 224 is suspended at the first height during each extraction. This precise positioning is crucial for ensuring consistency and quality throughout the extraction process. The limiting seat 26 provides stable support to the inner piston 224 when it is at the first height, guaranteeing its stability during extraction and improving extraction efficiency and beverage quality.

[0177] In one possible implementation, see [link to previous section] Figure 7 As shown, the limiting seat 26 may include a first slide groove 261 extending in the longitudinal direction (z-direction). The lifting limiting member 27 may include a lifting slider 271 that cooperates with the first slide groove 261. The lifting slider 271 is movably disposed within the first slide groove 261 in the longitudinal direction (z-direction), and the lifting slider 271 and the first slide groove 261 are fixedly connected in the circumferential direction of the brewer 22. That is, the lifting slider 271 is disposed within the first slide groove 261, and the two side walls of the first slide groove 261 in the circumferential direction of the brewer 22 can abut against the two sides of the lifting slider 271 in the circumferential direction of the brewer 22.

[0178] The top of the first slide groove 261 is provided with a suspension part 2611, which extends outward from the top of the first slide groove 261 along the circumference of the brewer 22. When the inner piston 224 is at the first height, the lifting slider 271 is located at the top of the first slide groove 261. The limiting seat 26 is used to rotate by a preset angle along the direction from the suspension part 2611 to the first slide groove 261 (direction a in the figure) when the inner piston 224 is at the first height, so that the bottom 2612 and the side 2613 of the suspension part 2611 abut against the lifting slider 271. The suspension part 2611 is used to fix the inner piston 224 at the first height by means of the lifting slider 271.

[0179] It should be noted that the hovering part 2611 can be a side opening formed on the top of the first slide groove 261. The height of the hovering part 2611 is related to the first height and can be set according to the first height. In this embodiment, the setting position of the hovering part 2611 is not further limited, as long as the inner piston 224 can be hovered at the first height.

[0180] By providing a first groove 261 and a suspension part 2611 at the top of the first groove 261, the lifting slider 271 can move to a first height along the longitudinal direction (z direction). Then, by rotating the limiting seat 26, the lifting slider 271 abuts against the suspension part 2611, thereby suspending the lifting limiting member 27 at the first height, which is also the first height at which the inner piston 224 is suspended. Since the suspension part 2611 provides some support for the lifting slider 271, this improves the stability of the inner piston 224 during extraction in the brewing assembly 20. Furthermore, the mechanical structure of the first groove 261 and the lifting slider 271 allows the inner piston 224 to be suspended at the first height. Compared to using a specific drive structure to suspend the inner piston 224 at the first position, this simplifies the structure of the brewing assembly 20 and reduces costs.

[0181] In one possible implementation, see [link to previous section] Figure 7 As shown, a first elastic element 29 is provided between the limiting seat 26 and the housing 21, and the first elastic element 29 has a preload. The first elastic element 29 is used to drive the limiting seat 26 to rotate by a preset angle along the direction from the suspension portion 2611 to the first slide groove 261 when the inner piston 224 is at the first height.

[0182] It should be noted that the direction of the restoring force of the first elastic member 29 is from the suspension portion 2611 to the first slide groove 261 (direction a in the figure). When the lifting slider 271 rises to the first height, the restriction of the first slide groove 261 on the side of the lifting slider 271 facing the suspension portion 2611 is released, so that the limiting seat 26 rotates by a preset angle under the action of the restoring force of the first elastic member 29 and abuts against the side portion 2613 of the suspension portion 2611, thereby stopping the rotation and suspending the lifting slider 271 at the suspension portion 2611. The value of the preset angle is related to the position of the side portion 2613 of the suspension portion 2611. In this embodiment, the position of the side portion 2613 of the suspension portion 2611 is not further limited.

[0183] By incorporating the first elastic element 29, the rotational adjustment of the limiting seat 26 can be achieved through the natural characteristics of the first elastic element 29, reducing complex mechanical structures and additional drive devices, making the equipment simpler and more reliable. The preload of the first elastic element 29 provides a low-energy-consumption drive method, reducing the demand for electricity or other energy sources and improving the energy efficiency of the equipment. The use of the first elastic element 29 can absorb and buffer the impacts and vibrations generated during movement, reducing wear and potential damage to the brewing components 20 and extending their service life.

[0184] In one possible implementation, such as Figure 8As shown, the housing 21 has a mounting groove 212 extending circumferentially along the brewer 22. A second limiting slider 263 is provided on the limiting seat 26, and the second limiting slider 263 is disposed within the mounting groove 212. A first elastic member 29 is disposed within the mounting groove 212. One end of the first elastic member 29 is fixedly connected to the mounting groove 212, and the other end is fixedly connected to the second limiting slider 263, and the first elastic member 29 is in a compressed state.

[0185] Thus, when the lifting slider 271 is located in the first slide groove 261, the restriction between the lifting slider 271 and the first slide groove 261 in the circumferential direction of the brewer 22 allows the first elastic element 29 to be compressed and set in the mounting groove 212. When the inner piston 224 drives the lifting slider 271 to rise to the first height, the restriction between the lifting slider 271 and the first slide groove 261 in the circumferential direction of the brewer 22 is released, thereby allowing the limiting seat 26 to rotate by a preset angle along the direction from the suspension part 2611 to the first slide groove 261 (direction a in the figure) under the action of the first elastic element 29.

[0186] This configuration allows the first elastic element 29 to have a certain restoring force. When the lifting slider 271 rises to the first height in the longitudinal direction (z direction) within the first slide groove 261, it can drive the limiting seat 26 to rotate by a preset angle along the direction from the suspension part 2611 to the first slide groove 261 through its own restoring force, so that the limiting slider abuts against the suspension part 2611.

[0187] In one possible implementation, a reset assembly is provided between the limiting seat 26 and the housing 21. The reset assembly is used to drive the limiting seat 26 to disengage from the lifting limiting member 27 in the longitudinal direction (z direction) during the process of the brewing assembly 20 moving from the extraction position to the filling position, so that the inner piston 224 moves downward in the longitudinal direction (z direction) and retracts to the bottom of the brewer 22.

[0188] By incorporating a reset component, the inner piston 224 can automatically return to its initial position after each beverage extraction, ready for the next filling and extraction. This simplifies the operation process, reduces manual intervention by the user, and ensures consistency in the extraction process by guaranteeing the return of the inner piston 224 to the same initial position after each operation, thus ensuring the stability of the beverage's quality and taste.

[0189] In one possible implementation, see [link to previous section] Figure 8As shown, the reset assembly may include a second slide 213 and a first limiting slider 262. The second slide 213 is disposed on the housing 21 and extends circumferentially along the brewer 22. The first limiting slider 262 is disposed on the limiting seat 26 and is movably disposed within the second slide 213 circumferentially along the brewer. The frame 10 is used to drive the first limiting slider 262 to rotate the limiting seat 26 by a preset angle along the direction from the first slide 261 to the suspension portion 2611 during the movement of the brewing assembly 20 from the extraction position to the filling position, so that the lifting slider 271 disengages from the suspension portion 2611 and enters the first slide 261.

[0190] For example, during the movement of the brewing assembly 20 from the extraction position to the filling position, and before the brewing assembly 20 reaches the filling position, a portion of the frame 10 abuts against the first limiting slider 262. As the brewing assembly 20 continues to move towards the filling position, it pushes the first limiting slider 262 to move within the second slide groove 213, causing the limiting seat 26 to rotate by a preset angle along the direction from the first slide groove 261 to the suspension portion 2611 (direction b in the figure). This allows the lifting slider 271 of the lifting slide groove to disengage from the suspension portion 2611 and enter the first slide groove 261. Under the action of the inner piston 224's own gravity, or under the action of other restoring forces, the inner piston 224 moves downward along the longitudinal direction to its initial position before rising.

[0191] It should be noted that the direction from the hovering part 2611 to the first slide groove 261 (direction a in the figure) is opposite to the direction from the first slide groove 261 to the hovering part 2611 (direction b in the figure).

[0192] By configuring the reset assembly to include a second slide 213 and a first limiting slider 262, during the process of the brewing assembly 20 moving from the extraction position to the filling position, the limiting seat 26 can be driven to rotate a preset angle along the direction from the first slide 261 to the suspension part 2611 by the pushing between the frame 10 and the first limiting slider 262, so that the lifting slider 271 disengages from the suspension part 2611 and enters the first slide 261. This reduces the complexity of the mechanical structure and the additional driving device, making the beverage equipment simpler.

[0193] In one possible implementation, see 7 and... Figure 9As shown, a second elastic element 28 is provided between the lifting limit member 27 and the inner piston 224. The second elastic element 28 is sleeved on the outside of the inner piston 224, with its top abutting against the brewer 22 and its bottom abutting against the lifting limit member 27. When the brewer 22 moves downward relative to the inner piston 224 in the longitudinal direction (z-direction), it compresses the second elastic element 28, giving it a preload. When the limiting seat 26 rotates a preset angle along the direction from the first slide groove 261 to the suspension part 2611, and the lifting slider 271 disengages from the suspension part 2611 and enters the first slide groove 261, the restoring force of the second elastic element 28 can drive the lifting limit member 27 to move the inner piston 224 downward in the longitudinal direction (z-direction).

[0194] By incorporating a second elastic element 28, the lifting limit element 27 can move longitudinally (z-direction) through its natural properties. This reduces the complexity of the mechanical structure and the need for additional drive devices, making the equipment simpler and more reliable. Furthermore, the preload of the elastic element provides a low-energy-consumption drive method, reducing the demand for electricity or other energy sources and improving the equipment's energy efficiency. The use of the second elastic element 28 can absorb and buffer the impacts and vibrations generated during movement, reducing wear and potential damage to the brewing components 20 and extending their service life.

[0195] For example, both the first elastic element 29 and the second elastic element 28 can be spring structures. In this embodiment, the specific structure of the first elastic element 29 and the second elastic element 28 is not further limited.

[0196] In one possible implementation, such as Figure 10 As shown, the beverage device 100 may include a liquid injection pipe 40. The liquid injection pipe 40 is movably connected to the frame 10. The brewing assembly 20 may include a liquid injection port 216 connected to the liquid injection pipe 40. When the brewing assembly 20 is in the extraction position, a portion of the liquid injection pipe 40 enters the liquid injection port 216 and is sealed to it. When the liquid injection pipe 40 is sealed to the liquid injection port 216, the brewing assembly 20 is fixed in the extraction position to restrict horizontal movement of the brewing assembly 20. Figure 10 The diagram shown is only a schematic of the injection tube 40.

[0197] For example, the connection between the injection tube 40 and the injection hole 216 can be a lateral connection, that is, an insertion along any horizontal direction. It can also be an oblique connection, that is, an insertion along a direction that forms a certain angle with both the x and z directions, for example, obliquely downwards or upwards, as long as the housing 21 can be fixed in the extraction position. In this embodiment, the insertion direction of the injection tube 40 and the injection hole 216 is not further limited. In the accompanying drawings of this embodiment, the connection is shown along the x-direction, where the x-direction is the radial direction of the brewer 22.

[0198] For example, the injection hole 216 can be connected to the liquid inlet pipe 24, and liquid can be injected into the liquid inlet pipe 24 through the injection hole 216. The liquid can be hot water or cold water, etc.

[0199] like Figure 10 As shown, the injection hole 216 can be provided on the housing 21, for example, it can be located at the bottom of the housing 21. By sealing the injection tube 40 with the injection hole 216, the housing 21 can be fixed in the extraction position. Since the housing 21 is sleeved on the outside of the brewer 22, when the housing 21 is fixed in the extraction position, the brewer 22 is also fixed in the extraction position. Since the brewer 22 and the housing 21 are movably connected in the longitudinal direction and are connected at the upper limit in the circumferential direction, when the first transmission member 31 rotates, the second transmission member 23 can rotate relative to the brewer 22, thereby driving the brewer 22 to move up and down in the longitudinal direction. In this embodiment, the location of the injection hole 216 is not further limited.

[0200] By providing the injection pipe 40, liquid can be injected into the brewing assembly 20 during beverage extraction to achieve extraction. After insertion, the injection pipe 40 provides additional support and fixation to the brewing assembly 20, preventing displacement due to vibration or liquid flow during extraction and helping to ensure a smooth extraction process. Furthermore, the injection pipe 40 allows the brewing assembly 20 to be precisely positioned at the correct extraction location, ensuring accurate water flow into the assembly, thereby improving extraction efficiency and effectiveness. Using the injection pipe 40 to fix the brewing assembly 20 reduces the need for additional fixing mechanisms, thus simplifying the overall structure of the beverage equipment 100.

[0201] For example, when the injection tube 40 is separated from the injection hole 216, the first transmission member 31 rotates to drive the second transmission member 23 to rotate, and the rotation of the second transmission member 23 causes the housing 21 and the brewer 22 to rotate around the central axis of the first transmission member 31. When the injection tube 40 is sealed to the injection hole 216, the housing 21 is fixed in the extraction position, the rotation of the first transmission member 31 drives the second transmission member 23 to rotate, and the rotation of the second transmission member 23 drives the third transmission member 222 to move the brewer 22 up and down relative to the housing 21 in the longitudinal direction (z direction).

[0202] By sealing the injection tube 40 to the injection hole 216 to fix the housing 21 in the extraction position, the second transmission member 23 can rotate relative to the brewer 22 about the central axis of the brewer 22 under the drive of the first transmission member 31. Since the second transmission member 23 is threadedly connected to the third transmission member 222 on the outside of the brewer 22, and the second sliding part 211 on the housing 21 and the first sliding part 223 of the brewer 22 act as a limiting force, the second transmission member 23 rotates to drive the brewer 22 to move up and down in the longitudinal direction. Furthermore, when the injection tube 40 is separated from the injection hole 216, the second transmission member 23 can drive the housing 21 and the brewer 22 to rotate around the central axis of the first transmission member 31, thereby achieving movement between the extraction position and the filling position, and thus completing different actions at different positions. Moreover, this allows the brewing component 20 to move in different directions using only one drive assembly 30, simplifying the structure of the drive assembly 30 and reducing assembly difficulty and cost.

[0203] In one possible implementation, combining Figure 10 and Figure 11 As shown, the beverage device 100 may further include a scraping assembly 60. The scraping assembly 60 may include a scraping rod 61 and a transmission link 62. The scraping rod 61 may be located at the top of the brewing assembly 20, and is used to push the extracted residue at the top of the brewing assembly 20 out of the brewing assembly 20 during rotation. One end of the transmission link 62 is fixedly connected to the scraping rod 61, and the other end is drivenly connected to the injection pipe 40. Rotation of the transmission link 62 drives the scraping rod 61 to rotate, and also drives the injection pipe 40 to insert or remove from the brewing assembly 20, so that the injection pipe 40 is sealed to or separated from the injection hole 216.

[0204] In one possible implementation, the beverage device 100 may further include a scraping assembly 60. The scraping assembly 60 may include a scraping rod 61 and a transmission link 62. The scraping rod 61 is located at the top of the brewing assembly 20 (when the brewer 22 is in its initial position), and is used to push the extracted residue at the top of the brewing assembly 20 out of the brewing assembly 20 during rotation. One end of the transmission link 62 is fixedly connected to the scraping rod 61, and the other end is drivenly connected to the injection pipe 40. Rotation of the transmission link 62 causes the scraping rod 61 to rotate, and also causes the injection pipe 40 to insert or withdraw from the brewing assembly 20, thereby sealing or separating the injection pipe 40 from the injection hole 216.

[0205] With this configuration, the scraper rod 61 can effectively push the extracted residue from the top of the brewing component 20 outside the component when it rotates, achieving automatic cleaning. This reduces the need for manual cleaning by the user and improves the convenience and user experience of the beverage equipment 100. The transmission linkage 62 connects the scraper rod 61 and the injection pipe 40, allowing the injection pipe 40 to be inserted or withdrawn simultaneously while the scraper rod 61 rotates to clean the residue. This simplifies the workflow of the beverage equipment 100, improves operating efficiency, and integrates the operation of scraping and injection pipe 40 into a single scraper assembly 60, reducing independently driven components and thus saving space and manufacturing costs for the beverage equipment 100.

[0206] For example, the scraper rod 61 may include a first position and a second position, wherein the scraper rod 61 is used to push the extracted residue on the top of the brewing assembly 20 out of the brewing assembly 20 during the process of rotating from the first position to the second position. Wherein, as Figure 11 As shown, when the scraper rod 61 is in the first position, the scraper rod 61 is located on the side of the brewer 22 near the filling position, and part of the liquid injection pipe 40 is located inside the liquid injection hole 216 and is sealed to the liquid injection hole 216. Figure 12 As shown, when the scraper rod 61 is in the second position, the scraper rod 61 is located on the side of the brewer 22 away from the loading position, and the liquid injection pipe 40 is separated from the liquid injection hole 216.

[0207] It should be noted that as the scraper rod 61 moves from the first position to the second position, it can sweep across the top of the brewing component 20, thereby cleaning the extracted residue located on the top of the brewing component 20.

[0208] This configuration allows the brewing assembly 20 to be fixed in the extraction position by moving the scraper rod 61 from the second position to the first position when moving from the filling position to the extraction position, ensuring extraction stability. After extraction, the scraper rod 61 can be moved from the first position to the second position to push the extracted beverage residue 200 against the side of the brewing assembly 20 away from the filling position for easy collection. Furthermore, during the movement of the scraper rod 61 from the first position to the second position, the injection pipe 40 can separate from the injection hole 216, allowing the brewing assembly 20 to move horizontally. This, in turn, drives the brewing assembly 20 from the extraction position to the filling position, entering the next extraction cycle. This makes the entire extraction cycle more compact and improves the efficiency of the extraction cycle.

[0209] In one possible implementation, such as Figure 11 As shown, the slag scraping assembly 60 may also include a second motor 64, which is drivenly connected to the transmission link 62 and is used to drive the transmission link 62 to rotate.

[0210] By providing a second motor 64, power can be supplied to move the scraper bar 61, so that the scraper bar 61 can move between a first position and a second position.

[0211] In one possible implementation, the scraper bar 61 may include a first abutment 611, and the frame 10 is provided with a second abutment 12 corresponding to the first abutment 611 (see [link]). Figure 1 (As shown). The second stop 12 is located on the side of the first stop 611 opposite to the second position. The second stop 12 is used to abut against the first stop 611 when the scraper rod 61 moves from the second position to the first position.

[0212] By providing a first stop 611 and a second stop 12, and having the scraper rod 61 abut against the first stop 611 when it moves from the second position to the first position, the first stop 611 and the second stop 12 provide clear movement restrictions, preventing the scraper rod 61 from exceeding the predetermined range of movement, thereby protecting the scraper rod 61 from damage caused by excessive movement.

[0213] It should be noted that the extraction process of the beverage equipment 100 is explained using the example of the scraper assembly 60 cleaning the extracted beverage residue 200 from the top of the brewing assembly 20, which marks the start of the next extraction cycle. For example, Figure 12 As shown, the scraper rod 61 is in the second position at this time.

[0214] The next extraction process can typically include the following steps.

[0215] First, the drive assembly 30 controls the first transmission member 31 to rotate, driving the second transmission member 23 to rotate around the central axis of the first transmission member 31. This causes the second transmission member 23 to move the brewing assembly 20 from the extraction position to the filling position. When the brewing assembly 20 moves to a position between the extraction position and the filling position, the first limiting slider 262 abuts against the frame 10. As the brewing assembly 20 continues to move towards the filling position, the frame 10 pushes the first limiting slider 262 to move within the second slide groove 213. This causes the limiting seat 26 to rotate by a preset angle along the direction from the first slide groove 261 to the suspension part 2611 (direction b in the figure). This causes the lifting slider 271 of the lifting slide groove to disengage from the suspension part 2611 and enter the first slide groove 261. The restoring force of the second elastic member 28 can drive the lifting limiting member 27 to move the inner piston 224 downward along the longitudinal direction (z direction) and return to the initial position. When the brewing component 20 is in the filling position, beverage ingredients are added into the brewing chamber of the brewer 22.

[0216] After the beverage ingredients are loaded into the brewing chamber, the first transmission component 31 is driven to rotate by the drive assembly 30, and the brewing assembly 20 is moved from the loading position to the extraction position by the second transmission component 23. Then, the scraper rod 61 of the scraper assembly 60 is moved from the second position to the first position. At this time, the transmission connecting rod 62 drives the injection tube 40 to be inserted into the injection hole 216 and sealed to the injection hole 216. At this time, the brewing assembly 20 is fixed in the extraction position by the injection tube 40.

[0217] The control drive assembly 30 drives the first transmission component 31 to rotate, which in turn drives the second transmission component 23 to rotate. The rotation of the second transmission component 23 drives the brewer 22, which in turn moves the inner piston 224 and the lifting limit component 27 upwards along the longitudinal direction. Simultaneously, the lifting slider 271 of the lifting limit component 27 moves upwards along the longitudinal direction within the first groove 261. When the brewer 22 and the inner piston 224 reach the first height, the lifting slider 271 disengages from the first groove 261, and under the action of the first elastic member 29, drives the limit seat 26 to rotate by a preset angle along the direction from the suspension portion 2611 to the first groove 261, so that the lifting slider 271 enters the suspension portion 2611 and suspends the inner piston 224 at the first height. When the brewer 22 is at the first height, a portion of the brewing component 50 is located within the brewing chamber, and the beverage ingredients are located between the top of the inner piston 224 and the brewing component, allowing for extraction.

[0218] Then, liquid (e.g., hot water) is injected into the injection hole 216 through the injection tube 40 to extract the beverage. After extraction, the brewer 22 is driven downward in the longitudinal direction to the initial position by the drive assembly 30 via the first transmission member 31, so that the inner piston 224 pushes the extracted beverage residue 200 against the top of the brewing assembly 20. It is understood that when the brewer 22 falls back to the initial position in the longitudinal direction, the top surface of the inner piston 224 may be flush with or slightly higher than the top surface of the brewer 22 (see [reference]). Figure 13 (As shown).

[0219] The scraper rod 61 is moved from the first position to the second position to clean the extracted beverage residue 200 from the top of the inner piston 224. When the scraper rod 61 moves from the first position to the second position, the injection pipe 40 separates from the injection hole 216. At this time, the brewing assembly 20 can enter the next extraction cycle.

[0220] The specific structure of the slag scraper assembly 60 is described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0221] In one possible implementation, such as Figure 14 As shown, the scraper assembly 60 can be connected to the connector 63; wherein, the connector 63 is located between the transmission link 62 and the injection pipe 40. The transmission link 62 includes a pushing part 621, and the connector 63 includes a pushed part 631 that cooperates with the pushing part 621. The pushing part 621 and the pushed part 631 are connected in a driving manner. The pushing part 621 is a protruding structure, and the pushed part 631 is the groove wall of a groove (the groove includes two groove walls). The protruding structure is pushed against the groove wall.

[0222] This configuration allows for a reliable mechanical connection through the interaction between the protruding structure of the pushing part 621 and the groove wall of the pushed part 631. This ensures that the transmission linkage 62 can effectively transmit power to the injection tube 40, achieving synchronized operation. The simple and efficient mechanical connection design reduces the need for complex components and precision manufacturing, thereby lowering manufacturing costs.

[0223] In one possible implementation, such as Figure 15 As shown, the connector 63 may further include a first limiting portion 632, and the injection tube 40 may include a second limiting portion 41 that mates with the first limiting portion 632. The second limiting portion 41 is movably connected to the first limiting portion 632, and the mating surface between the first limiting portion 632 and the second limiting portion 41 is an inclined surface structure 633. The inclination direction of the inclined surface structure 633 is configured to convert the rotational displacement of the connector 63 into the displacement of the injection tube 40 relative to the insertion / removal direction of the brewing assembly 20.

[0224] The design of the inclined plane structure 633 converts the rotational displacement of the connector 63 into the linear displacement of the injection tube 40 in the insertion and removal direction. This motion conversion mechanism simplifies complex motion control, enabling rotational motion to effectively drive linear motion. The inclined plane structure 633 provides a precise motion path, ensuring that the injection tube 40 maintains accurate positioning and orientation during insertion or removal, improving the operational accuracy of the device. The movable connection of the inclined plane structure 633 reduces direct friction, lowers wear between components, and extends the service life of the device. By utilizing a simple mechanical structure to achieve complex motion conversion, the need for additional drive components is reduced, simplifying device design and lowering manufacturing and maintenance costs.

[0225] In one possible implementation, the insertion / removal direction of the injection tube 40 is arranged radially along the brewing assembly 20. By arranging the insertion / removal direction of the injection tube 40 radially along the brewing assembly 20, the insertion / removal path can be shortened, helping to reduce the overall space occupied by the beverage device 100, making the structure of the beverage device 100 more compact and suitable for use in space-constrained environments. The radial insertion / removal direction makes it easier to achieve precise docking and sealing between the injection tube 40 and the brewing assembly 20, preventing liquid leakage and improving the sealing performance of the beverage device 100. The radial insertion / removal direction provides good mechanical support, making the injection tube 40 more stable during operation and reducing misalignment or loosening caused by vibration or external forces. The radial insertion / removal direction makes the force transmission more direct and effective, reducing unnecessary mechanical wear and improving operating efficiency.

[0226] In one possible implementation, the second limiting part 41 can be a column structure, with one end of the column structure fixedly connected to the injection pipe 40 and the other end movably connected to the first limiting part 632. The first limiting part 632 is a sliding groove structure.

[0227] This configuration simplifies the structure of the second limiting part 41 and the first limiting part 632, enabling complex motion control through a simple mechanical structure, reducing the need for additional components, simplifying equipment design, and lowering manufacturing and maintenance costs.

[0228] It should be noted that the structure of the first limiting part 632 and the second limiting part 41 in this embodiment of the application is not limited, as long as it can realize the conversion of the rotational displacement of the connector 63 into the displacement of the injection tube 40 relative to the insertion and removal direction of the brewing component 20.

[0229] In one possible implementation, such as Figure 16 and Figure 17As shown, the frame 10 is provided with a guide groove 11, which extends along the insertion and removal direction of the injection tube 40. For example, when the insertion and removal direction of the injection tube 40 is the radial direction of the brewing assembly 20, the guide groove 11 extends radially along the brewing assembly 20. The second limiting part 41 is movably disposed in the guide groove 11, which is used to limit the movement of the second limiting part 41 along the insertion and removal direction of the injection tube 40.

[0230] By setting the guide groove 11, a clear movement path can be provided for the second limiting part 41, ensuring that the second limiting part 41 moves along the radial direction of the brewing assembly 20 during the insertion and removal process, thereby reducing offset and error.

[0231] In one possible implementation, the scraper assembly 60 may also include an angle sensor (not shown in the figure) that can measure the angle of rotation of the scraper rod 61, and then control the second motor 64 by the angle of the scraper rod 61 to prevent the scraper rod 61 from moving excessively.

[0232] In one possible implementation, such as Figure 18 As shown, the beverage device 100 may further include a residue collection box 70. The residue collection box 70 is located on the side of the extraction position away from the filling position. The top of the residue collection box 70 is provided with a residue inlet 71, and the residue scraper 61 is used to push the beverage residue 200 on the top of the brewing component 20 against the residue inlet 71 of the residue collection box 70 when rotating from the first position to the second position.

[0233] By setting up the slag collection box 70, the extracted residue can be collected and then centrally processed, saving users the number of operations and reducing their burden compared to cleaning after each extraction. By placing the slag collection box 70 on the side of the extraction position away from the loading position, the extracted residue can be directly pushed into the slag collection box 70 as the scraper rod 61 moves from the first position to the second position. This makes the beverage equipment 100 more compact, reducing its footprint and promoting miniaturization.

[0234] In one possible implementation, the slag collection box 70 may include a top cover 72, which can be opened and closed at the slag inlet 71. For example, the top cover 72 and the slag collection box 70 may be connected by a hinge so that the top cover 72 can be opened and closed at the slag inlet 71. In this embodiment, the connection method between the top cover 72 and the slag collection box 70 is not further limited.

[0235] By providing a top cover 72, overflow from the residue inlet 71 can be prevented, keeping the beverage equipment 100 and its surrounding environment clean. When the top cover 72 is closed, it effectively isolates odors from the residue collection box 70, improving air quality around the equipment and enhancing the user experience. The design of the top cover 72 prevents external foreign objects or dust from entering the residue collection box 70, maintaining internal cleanliness and ensuring the normal operation of the beverage equipment 100. The openable and closable top cover 72 design makes cleaning or replacing the residue collection box 70 more convenient for users, simplifying the operation process.

[0236] In one possible implementation, such as Figure 19 , Figure 20 , Figure 21 as well as Figure 22 As shown, the beverage device 100 may further include a mounting base 80. The mounting base 80 is located at the bottom 2612 of the residue collection box 70. The mounting base 80 may include a first assembly part 81, to which the residue collection box 70 is detachably connected and rotatably connected. When the brewing component 20 moves out of the extraction position, the residue inlet 71 tilts towards the extraction position (see...). Figure 19 (As shown). The brewing assembly 20 is used to push the slag collection box 70 into an upright position during the process of moving from the loading position to the extraction position (see...). Figure 21 (As shown).

[0237] It should be noted that the time between the brewing component 20 entering and leaving the extraction position is very short. Therefore, when entering the extraction position, it will have a certain impact on the slag collection box 70, and when leaving, it will cause the slag collection box 70 to become momentarily unbalanced, resulting in a certain amount of shaking.

[0238] It should be noted that the rotatable connection between the slag collection box 70 and the first assembly part 81 can be a multi-directional rotatable connection. For example, the rotatable connection between the slag collection box 70 and the first assembly part 81 can achieve a 360° rotatable connection. For instance, the slag collection box 70 and the first assembly part 81 can be connected by means of quick-release rotary bearings, split universal joints, quick-release rotary joints, snap-fit ​​flexible shafts, detachable ball joints, etc.

[0239] Of course, there are other ways to connect the slag collection box 70 and the first assembly part 81. In this embodiment, the specific method of the rotational connection between the slag collection box 70 and the mounting base 80 is not further limited.

[0240] By rotatably connecting the slag collection box 70 to the mounting base 80, and tilting the slag inlet 71 toward the extraction position when the brewing component 20 moves out of the extraction position, the impact force generated by the brewing component 20 on the slag collection box 70 when entering the extraction position can cause the slag collection box 70 to lose its balance when it moves out of the extraction position, thus causing the slag collection box 70 to shake or vibrate to a certain extent relative to the mounting base 80. This will cause the slag in the slag collection box 70 to be evenly shaken during the shaking or vibration of the slag collection box 70, preventing the slag from forming a pile-like structure in the slag collection box 70, improving the space utilization of the slag collection box 70, reducing the replacement frequency, and reducing the burden on users.

[0241] This configuration allows the slag collection box 70 to be automatically adjusted to an upright position when the brewing component 20 moves from the loading position to the extraction position, ensuring that the slag collection box 70 is in the optimal position before extraction begins, ready to receive the slag, thus improving operating efficiency.

[0242] For example, the beverage device 100 may include a base 13, with a frame 10, a brewing component 20, a residue collection box 70, and a mounting base 80 all disposed on the base 13. The base 13 can be fixedly connected to the frame 10 and the mounting base 80. The base 13 may be a plate-like structure fixed to the frame 10, an integrally formed plate-like structure with the frame 10, or a tabletop for mounting the beverage device 100. In this embodiment, the specific structure of the base 13 is not further limited.

[0243] In one possible implementation, the slag collection box 70 is provided with a first mating part 73 that mates with the first assembly part 81. Two first assembly parts 81 are respectively disposed on both sides of the slag collection box 70 along a first direction, and two first mating parts 73 correspond to the two assembly parts respectively. When the slag collection box 70 is in an upright state, the distance L1 from the first mating part 73 to the extraction position is greater than the distance L2 from the center of gravity (considered the geometric center) of the slag collection box 70 to the extraction position, so that when the brewing component 20 moves out of the extraction position, the slag inlet 71 tilts towards the extraction position.

[0244] This design allows the slag collection box 70 to tilt naturally under its own weight, thus simplifying the structure of the mounting base 80.

[0245] In one possible implementation, when the brewing component 20 moves out of the extraction position, the angle α at which the slag inlet 71 tilts towards the extraction position is between 10° and 30°. For example, the tilt angle α can be 10°, 15°, 20°, 25°, 30°, etc. In this embodiment, the tilt angle of the slag inlet 71 towards the extraction position is not limited.

[0246] This setting allows the slag collection box 70 to be at a suitable tilt angle, without affecting the usable space of the slag collection box 70. It also allows the slag collection box 70 to have a certain impact with the brewing component 20 when it moves to the extraction position, thereby causing the slag in the slag collection box 70 to vibrate, thus allowing the slag in the slag collection box 70 to be evenly distributed and improving the space utilization rate of the slag collection box 70.

[0247] In one possible implementation, such as Figure 21 and Figure 22 As shown, the brewing assembly 20 may include a pushing part 214 and an extension part 215. The pushing part 214 is used to push against the slag collection box 70 during the process of the brewing assembly 20 moving from the loading position to the extraction position. When the brewing assembly 20 is in the extraction position, the extension part 215 is located on top of the slag collection box 70, and at least a portion of the structure of the extension part 215 is located inside the edge of the slag inlet 71. The extension part 215 may be disposed on the housing 21 or on the brewer 22; in this embodiment, the location of the extension part 215 is not further limited.

[0248] For example, the pusher section can be the outer wall of the housing 21 of the brewing component 20, or a protruding structure formed on the outer wall of the housing 21, etc. In the embodiments of this application, the pusher section is not further limited.

[0249] By providing the pushing part 214, the slag collection box 70 can be pushed against, preventing damage to other parts of the brewing component 20. By providing the extension part 215, a gap can be prevented between the brewing component 20 and the slag inlet 71 of the slag collection box 70, thereby preventing leakage of slag during the process of pushing the slag into the slag inlet 71, and reducing the workload of cleaning and maintenance.

[0250] Figure 22 This is a top view of the brewing component 20 of a beverage device 100 provided in an embodiment of this application when it is in the extraction position. Figure 22 The top cover 72 of the slag collection box 70 is cut open, revealing a schematic diagram of the interior of the slag collection box 70.

[0251] In one possible implementation, such as Figure 23 As shown, the first assembly part 81 can be a slot structure, and the first mating part 73 can be a rod-shaped structure. This simplifies the structure of the first assembly part 81 and the first mating part 73, reducing the difficulty of processing.

[0252] In one possible implementation, such as Figure 24 As shown, the mounting base 80 is equipped with a detection component. This detection component is used at least to detect whether the slag collection box 70 is full, to ensure that the slag collection box 70 does not overflow if it becomes too full.

[0253] By incorporating a detection component, the system can identify whether the slag collection box 70 is full and issue a warning signal if necessary. This helps prevent overflow or equipment damage caused by overfilling the slag collection box 70, ensuring the normal operation of the equipment.

[0254] In some embodiments, the detection component can also be used to detect whether the top cover 72 of the slag collection box 70 has been reset, etc.

[0255] By monitoring in real time whether the top cover 72 of the residue collection box 70 has returned to the correct position, the beverage equipment 100 is ensured to be ready before starting a new operating cycle. This prevents the extraction process from starting when the residue collection box 70 is not in the correct position, avoiding possible spills or equipment malfunctions, and improving the safety and reliability of the beverage equipment 100.

[0256] In one possible implementation, see [link to previous section] Figure 24 As shown, the detection assembly may include a first magnetic element 91 and a first Hall effect sensor 92. The mounting base 80 may include a fixed part 82 and a movable part 83. The fixed part 82 is fixed to the base 13, and the movable part 83 is movably connected to the fixed part 82 in the vertical direction. A third elastic element 85 is provided between the movable part 83 and the fixed part 82. The first magnetic element 91 is fixed to the movable part 83. When the slag collection box 70 is installed on the mounting base 80, the first mating part 73 rests on the movable part 83, and the first mating part 73 is movably connected to the first assembly part 81 in the vertical direction. The first Hall effect sensor 92 is disposed on the fixed part 82 and is used to detect whether the slag collection box 70 is fully loaded based on the position of the first magnetic element 91.

[0257] This configuration allows for precise detection of positional changes in the first magnetic component 91 via the first Hall effect sensor 92, thereby determining the state of the slag collection box 70 (e.g., whether it is fully loaded). This non-contact detection method improves the accuracy and reliability of the detection. By monitoring the state of the slag collection box 70 in real time through sensors, the equipment can automatically prompt the user to clean or replace it, reducing the frequency of manual inspections and increasing the automation level of the equipment. The third elastic component 85 allows the moving part 83 to make slight displacements when the slag collection box 70 is loaded, ensuring that the sensor is only triggered when the slag collection box 70 is truly fully loaded, reducing the possibility of false alarms. Utilizing the combination of magnetic components and sensors for state detection reduces the need for complex mechanical parts and simplifies equipment design and manufacturing.

[0258] In one possible implementation, such as Figure 25As shown, the first assembly part 81 may include an inclined groove and a vertical groove that are interconnected, and the inclined groove is located at the top of the vertical groove. When the slag collection box 70 is installed on the mounting base 80, part of the structure of the first assembly part 81 enters the vertical groove from the inclined groove, and when the first mating part 73 is attached to the moving part 83, the first mating part 73 is movably connected to the vertical groove in the vertical direction.

[0259] The inclined groove facilitates the connection between the slag collection box 70 and the mounting base 80, reducing the difficulty of alignment and positioning, and making the installation process simpler and faster. The vertical groove provides vertical movement space for the first mating part 73, enabling the first Hall effect sensor 92 to detect whether the slag collection box 70 is fully loaded based on the position of the first magnetic component 91. Furthermore, the vertical groove provides support for the first mating part 73, preventing the slag collection box 70 from shaking or falling off during use.

[0260] In one possible implementation, such as Figure 26 As shown, the detection component may include a second magnetic element 93 and a second Hall effect sensor (not shown in the figure). The second magnetic element 93 may be disposed on the top cover 72, and the second Hall effect sensor may be disposed on the side wall of the slag collection box 70 (specifically, at a position where the slag collection box 70 is stationary relative to the top cover 72). The second Hall effect sensor is used to detect whether the top cover 72 has been reset or whether the slag collection box 70 is fully loaded based on the position of the second magnetic element 93.

[0261] By incorporating a second magnetic component 93 and a second Hall effect sensor, the top cover 72 can be monitored in real time to ensure it has returned to the correct position, guaranteeing that the beverage equipment 100 is ready to operate before a new cycle begins. This prevents the extraction process from starting when the top cover 72 cannot return to its correct position due to a full residue collection box 70, thus avoiding potential overflows or equipment malfunctions and improving the safety and reliability of the beverage equipment. By detecting the position of the second magnetic component 93, the second Hall effect sensor confirms that the top cover 72 has correctly returned to its correct position, ensuring that the residue collection box 70 is not full during operation.

[0262] It should be noted that when the internal space of the residue collection box 70 can no longer accommodate more beverage residue 200, meaning the residue collection box 70 is fully loaded, the top cover 72 can no longer be fully opened. Figure 26 As shown, when the residue collection box 70 is fully loaded, continuing to add beverage residue 200 into the residue collection box 70 will cause the beverage residue 200 on the top cover 72 of the residue collection box 70 to be unable to open the top cover 72, and will slide into the residue collection box 70. Because the beverage residue 200 inside the residue collection box 70 is pressing against the top cover 72, the top cover 72 cannot be opened to a state that allows the beverage residue 200 to slide in.

[0263] Therefore, the fullness of the slag collection box 70 can be determined by checking whether the top cover 72 has reset. For example, if the top cover 72 has not reset, it can be determined that the slag collection box 70 is full, and it can be cleaned. If the top cover 72 can reset, it can be determined that the slag collection box 70 is not full, and beverage residue 200 can continue to be cleaned into the slag collection box 70.

[0264] It should be noted that in some embodiments, the detection component can be configured to include only the first magnetic element 91 and the first Hall effect sensor 92, and the first magnetic element 91 and the first Hall effect sensor 92 can be used to detect whether the slag collection box 70 is fully loaded.

[0265] In other embodiments, the detection component can be configured to include a first magnetic element 91 and a first Hall effect sensor 92, as well as a second magnetic element 93 and a second Hall sensor. The working state of the slag collection box 70 can be determined by the two detection structures to improve safety.

[0266] Of course, in some other embodiments, the detection component can also be configured to include a second magnetic element 93 and a second Hall sensor, and the second magnetic element 93 and the second Hall sensor can be used to detect the reset of the top cover 72 and whether the slag collection box 70 is full.

[0267] Therefore, in this embodiment, the specific structure of the detection component is not further limited. In one possible implementation, such as... Figure 27 As shown, the mounting base 80 may include a blocking portion 84. The blocking portion 84 is located on the side of the slag collection box 70 opposite to the extraction position and is spaced apart from the slag collection box 70. In the direction from the slag collection box 70 to the extraction position, at least a portion of the structure of the blocking portion 84 is disposed opposite to a portion of the structure of the slag collection box 70.

[0268] By providing the blocking part 84, a physical constraint is provided on the side of the residue collection box 70 away from the extraction position, preventing the residue collection box 70 from tipping over to the side away from the brewing component 20 after it shakes under the pushing action of the brewing component 20, thus improving the safety of the beverage equipment 100. The blocking part 84 can also prevent the residue collection box 70 from colliding with other equipment parts, reducing wear and potential damage to the equipment and extending the service life of the beverage equipment 100.

[0269] In one possible implementation, the side of the blocking part 84 facing the slag collection box 70 includes an inclined surface 841. In the direction from the bottom 2612 to the top of the blocking part 84, the distance from the inclined surface 841 to the slag collection box 70 gradually increases, and the top of the inclined surface 841 is an arc-shaped surface 842.

[0270] The design of the arc-shaped surface 842 provides a buffer zone when the slag collection box 70 contacts the blocking part 84, reducing the direct impact force and thus reducing wear and damage to the slag collection box 70 and the blocking part 84.

[0271] In one possible implementation, the beverage device 100 may also include an alarm module (not shown in the figure). The detection component is connected to the alarm module, which is used to issue an alarm message when the residue collection box 70 is full.

[0272] When the waste collection box 70 is full, the alarm module can immediately issue an alarm message to remind the user to clean the waste collection box 70 in a timely manner. This ensures that the beverage equipment 100 can operate continuously and efficiently without malfunctioning or overflowing due to overfilling of the waste collection box 70. Through automatic alarm, the user can respond quickly and take necessary cleaning measures, reducing downtime caused by an overfilled waste collection box 70 and improving the overall operating efficiency of the beverage equipment 100. Timely alarm messages can effectively prevent waste overflow caused by an overfilled waste collection box 70, keeping the beverage equipment 100 and the working environment clean and reducing the risk of contamination. The alarm module can prevent equipment malfunctions or other safety hazards caused by an overfilled waste collection box 70, improving the safety and reliability of the equipment.
